Jude Crawford walked out of The Manor of the Ninth Spire with Isabelle Willow, her hand still in Jude Crawford’s palm, she quickly moved and withdrew her hand. Jude Crawford stopped and looked at her, "What’s wrong?" This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net Isabelle Willow wore a floral qipao today, covered by a knit cardigan, looking elegant and gentle as she stood in the wind. The evening breeze stirred her long hair at her cheeks, and as her hair wrapped around her face, she reached up to tuck a few strands behind her ear. She looked at Jude Crawford, "It’s nothing, thank you for today. I won’t be going back with you." Jude Crawford fixed his gaze on her, half-smiling, "I am not joking with you, Isabelle Willow, you are still my wife." "..." Isabelle Willow recalled when she jumped off the high platform of Jill’s room back then, it’s been twenty years, and they never actually divorced. "Then let’s find some time to go to the civil affairs bureau and get divorced. Anyway... we’ve been separated for so many years, the marriage is already invalid." Isabelle Willow replied. Jude Crawford pressed his thin lips and said nothing. At this point, Seraphina Linden walked over, "Yara, let’s go." "Okay." Isabelle Willow got into the car with Seraphina Linden. Serena Sterling also came out of The Manor of the Ninth Spire, "Mommy, Aunt Yara, you go ahead first, I’ll wait here for Mr. Crawford." "Serena, we must go back." Seraphina Linden said seriously. Serena Sterling noticed the anomaly on Seraphina Linden’s face, her expression serious and stern, "Mommy, what’s wrong?" Seraphina Linden whispered, "Serena, the Governess has arrived!" Upon hearing the Governess had arrived, Serena Sterling’s heart skipped a beat. In Alani, every princess was raised by a respected Governess. This Governess, with strict discipline, acted almost as an Empress Dowager, earning the respect and affection of the whole Alani. Seraphina Linden was raised by this Governess, as Serena Sterling was lost to the outside world from childhood, the Governess continued her tenure. The Governess was very fond of Seraphina Linden and Serena Sterling, treating them as her own, though her sternness was genuine. Serena Sterling did not expect the Governess to arrive so quickly, moreover, the Governess despised Westria, and particularly its monarch. Back then when Alani fell, the long river was stained with blood, and now all the aged Governesses of Alani are survivors of that bloody apocalypse, their parents died in that battle, and the fires of hatred against Westria have been burning in their hearts ever since. Serena Sterling furrowed her elegant brows, knowing the Governess would not easily make an appearance, unless...there was something very important. Serena Sterling felt a sense of foreboding, and nodded, "Mommy, Aunt Yara, let’s go back then." The three women got in the car, and the luxury car sped away. Isabelle Willow sat in the back seat of the luxury car, even as the car drove away, she could still feel Jude Crawford’s gaze fixed on her, closely following her. "Yara... Yara!" Seraphina Linden called out several times. Isabelle Willow snapped back to reality, she looked at Seraphina Linden, "Seraphina, what’s wrong?" Seraphina Linden looked at Isabelle Willow doubtfully, "Yara, you seem odd to me, is there something you’re hiding from me? It seems after you returned from Jude Crawford last time you started acting strange, oh, I get it, that night, did Jude Crawford...bully you?" Seraphina Linden blinked her watery eyes and ambiguously nudged Isabelle Willow with her arm. Isabelle Willow quickly shook her head, "No, I slept in the guest room, he in the master bedroom, when I woke up in the morning, he was gone, Seraphina, don’t have such thoughts!" "That’s really strange, that carnivorous wolf Jude Crawford actually turned vegetarian." Seraphina Linden murmured curiously. Isabelle Willow didn’t say another word, she merely raised her hand to tuck a lock of hair at her cheek behind her ear. Seraphina Linden noticed the small earlobe of Isabelle Willow had dyed with a slight blush, seeming unnatural. Seraphina Linden grew more puzzled, she was certain Isabelle Willow was hiding something from her. Hayden Crawford stepped out from The Manor of the Ninth Spire, Serena Sterling was already gone. "Master, Miss Sterling left first just now, she seems to have some tricky issue to handle, so she did not wait for you." Corvus approached respectfully and said. He had hurried out only to find she had already left, the heartless little thing! Hayden Crawford, "Let’s go as well." "Yes, Master." Corvus respectfully opened the rear door, Hayden Crawford entered the car. The Rolls-Royce business car sped down the road, soon, it unexpectedly began to rain. "Master, it’s raining." Corvus said. Hayden Crawford looked up, through the gleaming glass window, seeing outside, it really was raining, and a downpour at that. Suddenly, amidst the rain, a person rushed in, directly colliding with the Rolls-Royce business car. The sharp sound of brakes screeched, Corvus quickly hit the brakes, "Master, it seems we’ve hit someone." Hayden Crawford pursed his thin lips, "Get down and check." Corvus quickly got out of the car, only to see a slender figure lying in front of the car, it was a girl, her forehead bleeding from the impact, already unconscious on the ground. "Miss... Miss..." Corvus called out several times, but the girl on the ground did not respond. At this point, Hayden Crawford also got out of the car, looking at the unconscious girl on the ground, lowly said, "Hurry and get her to the hospital." "Yes." Corvus promptly lifted the girl horizontally from the ground. At this moment, a jade pendant hanging from the girl’s neck fell out, Hayden Crawford glanced at it, his deep pupils shrunk sharply. This jade pendant was very familiar, it had a letter "Crawford" carved on it. Hayden Crawford quickly recognized this as his belonging. If he remembered correctly, he once gave this jade pendant to Yasmine Sterling. Over ten years ago, he first went to Bayside, almost losing his life in that icy snowy land, a girl rescued him, on that night of swirling snow, the girl embraced him, warming him with her body heat, providing him with endless warmth and the strength to survive, the girl became a softness in his heart. But later, Yasmine Sterling sought him out with that jade pendant. Now, this jade pendant unexpectedly appears on this girl’s body. "Hold on a moment." Hayden Crawford suddenly spoke. Corvus stopped, "Master, what is it?" Hayden Crawford reached out and picked up the jade pendant, this jade pendant was genuine, without a doubt, he wouldn’t mistake his own possession. Could it be, back then Yasmine Sterling brought a fake jade pendant to find him? The one who truly saved him back then wasn’t Yasmine Sterling, but rather this girl before him. In any case, this suddenly appearing girl was a mystery. "Bring her back to the villa first, and call a private doctor over." Hayden Crawford changed his orders.
